10 reviews gave their own numeric score, and those count extra. The others are scored from their overall tone.
First impressions and reviews without hands-on testing count less.
If 80%+ of reviews lean the same way, the score moves by 0.5. This time: +0.5 (85% of sources positive (threshold 80%)).
85% of reviews lean positive, and scores are close together (spread 0.9). Agreement: High.
How we got there: score 7.9/10, value signal 6.8/10 from 12 reviews, evidence strong (13 reviews, 13 hands-on).
